MERCURY OPTIMAX 150 - Air Diaphragm, Fuel Diaphragm and air hose issue fixed

I ran into an issue with my motor and brought it to my mechanic. We found a few issues, Leon was able to take care of all my issues prior to my April tournament at New Hogan Lake. We got lucky and took the win on that lake Props to MOTOR WORX for taking care of my issue on time.

Thanks for the video, very helpful. As a preventive measure - mine were fine and still intact with no perforations - I just changed my tracker diaphragms on both of the starboard side rails of my two 2005 225 Optimax DTS engines. Did not need to use the tool as it is a much weaker spring than the port side air/fuel diaphragms and could steady the cover with hand force alone. Still pending is changing out the A/ F diaphragms on the starboard side rails - and for those will definitely use the assembly tool which I already have.

Thanks for filming this...similar issues with my 2009 225 OPTI.

The 2.5 liters don't have the 80lb spring the 3.0 do. The tool is not nessesary for the weaker spring if you have steady hands

DO NOT USE GREASE ON THE DIAPHRAGM some types of grease don’t dissolve in the fuel and will plug your injectors

[@raisingcane225]

Quicksilver/Mercury 2-4-C grease with PTFE absolutely is soluble (WILL dissolve) in gasoline. I literally put a +/- 1/4 oz glob of it in a glass and added about 3 ounces of gas, stirred it with my finger and it dissolved. You may be correct about other types of grease, but this one is safe for the use mentioned.
